The most critical component in a home cinema front
projection unit has always been its light engine. A
projector’s image accuracy is governed by the
quality of this piece of precision optical engineering.
In order to obtain the best projected image quality,
a delicate balance is required between the light
engine, the DLP® chipset and the control electronics.
Building on its heritage of high-end light engine
design, SIM2 developed an innovative optical
system to re-size the light-path whilst maintaining
BOTH its length (necessary for optimum picture
control) AND its compactness (required for
installation and interior-design constraints). This
folded light path, patented and named ALPHAPATH™,
is the result of years of SIM2’s advanced R&D optical
and thermal analysis.
• Die-cast aluminum body for improved heat
management: a new die-cast aluminum design
dramatically improves the thermal management
of the light engine, which means SIM2 projectors
are now able to use a more powerful lamp to
deliver brighter images on-screen.
• Tapered rod-integrator for greater image
uniformity: The purpose of the rod-integrator is
to accept the raw light energy from the lamp and
convert it into a pure and refined beam of light. It
is also where the light spot from the lamp is turned
into a precise 16:9 shape before it illuminates the
DMD chipset. This new tapered design helps
further improve color uniformity and efficiency of
light transmission.
• New Coatings on the color wheel to further
enhance color and picture performance.
SIM2 ALphApATh™ Light Engine
SIM2 Coretechnologies
The DynamicBlack™ technology, coupled with the
world-renowned precision optics of SIM2’s
ALPHAPATH™ light engine and the latest DLP®
chipsets, delivers enhanced contrast and black level
performance.
This improved black level enables the projectors to
produce images that contain the maximum amount
of detail possible in dark scenes without
compromising black level or the excellent dynamic
range available from DLP® technology. SIM2 has
developed a unique solution to achieve this, using
three distinct specialized components: enhanced
DynamicBlack™ technology, a user-adjustable iris
and a new dimmable lamp.
SIM2 optical specialists designed a dynamic iris in a
non-symmetric and folded shape powered by an
ultrafast step motor (similar to those used in hard
disc drives), in order to prevent unwanted stray light
from contaminating the purity of the optical light
path. DynamicBlack™ automatically adjusts the
dynamic iris position, relative to the picture content,
with microsecond precision, extending the depth of
black level and providing richer detail in dark scenes.
This extended dynamic range produces a more life-
like, three-dimensional quality to the final image.
SIM2 Unique Implementation ofDynamicBlack™ Technology

It is now unquestionable: the era of 3D has officially
started. Today, new technologies allow the delivery
of images with a strong emotional impact, where
the spectator feels completely immersed and
involved. SIM2 has embraced this new technological
‘wager’, and today is among the first in the world to
offer a series of products for home use, with
characteristics that are the same as those at the
cinema. How we perceive in 3D: the simple reason
why we perceive in 3D is because we have two
forward facing eyes with which we observe the
world around us (binocular vision). Our eyes are
separated from each other by about 6 cm (3 inches).
As a result, one eye perceives a slightly different
image to the other eye, a different shifted perspective.
The human brain is wired so that it can combine
these two different images.
To simulate 3D vision we must therefore ‘trick’ the
brain by sending a different image for each eye
(stereoscopy). In other words, in order to see a 3D
image, one eye must see a different image than the
one seen by the other eye. The brain then
‘recombines’ the information related to these two
different images, giving the observer a sense of
‘depth’ and therefore a sense of 3D vision. And DLP®
technology provides an image latency time equal to
zero, which means perfect 3D images without any
annoying crosstalk effect (Ghosting).
•Active systems are based on the use of suitably
controlled glasses (thereby active) that alternatively
block the vision of each eye in quick succession,
through the use of shutters. The glasses, which are
synchronized with the projector, will view two
different images on the screen in a sequential
manner (sequential frames), permitting each eye to
see only the image dedicated to it.
3D Technology Overview

Complete color controlNew Live Colors Calibration 2.0 Software
To aid calibration, the SIRIO and NERO projectors
feature the new SIM2’s advanced Live Colors
Calibration 2.0 software that enables professional
calibration of all projection parameters such as
complete adjustment of the primary, secondary and
white point color coordinates. This PC-based
software gives calibration experts unprecedented
control over the projector image quality. The image
can be further optimized by using one of the four
sets of gamma curves available. These can be used
to correct for variations in the source material,
differing levels of ambient lighting
or simply to allow for individual viewing
preferences.
LCC2 New Features:
• 2 memories per 2D/3D mode – Total of four
• Target gamut and white point information
• Color probe feedback from X-rite Hubble
• Automatic colors adjustments with feedback from
color probe X-rite Hubble
- Auto-Adj. Coordinate x,y

• Available commands to pre-adjusting projector
image (bright., contrast and gamma)
• 2 user gamma customization for 2D/3D mode
• More powerful color management panels
SIM2’s pureMovie & pureAction
SIM2’s engineers have designed the 3D active
system models with three user modes, each
optimized for the various demands of movie, sports
and 3D viewing:
• pureMovie (2D): allows a pure presentation of the
signal coming from your source: all but the most
basic circuitry is bypassed in order to ensure a more
“film-like” viewing experience. SIM2’s PureMovie
allows the delivery of the widest contrast ratio and
deepest black level performance from the projector.
• pureAction (2D): has been specifically designed for
fast-motion video material, resulting in smooth
motion, free from the ‘smear’ or ‘judder’ that can
affect the image. The PureAction mode is particularly
suited to fast-action sports viewing, where the ability
to easily follow the action, regardless of its intensity,
is paramount.
• pureAction 3D: is SIM2’s implemententation of the
next level in reality reproduction: 3D video visualization.
PureAction includes the state-of-the-art of 3D
technologies in order to ensure 3D viewing free of
flickering, ghosting and motion “shudder” suffered
by most 3D displays.

Created for the most demanding home
entertainment system, SIRIO brings a balanced
approach to high brightness projection, with a
quality of picture that rivals that of the best projectors
in its category.
Designed to be used with large screen sizes or in
ambient light room conditions, where high light
output is a necessity, SIRIO uses light-tuned optical
elements to maximize light output (up to 6,000 ANSI
lumens) from its dual 350W lamps.
This is a star performer that has the power and clarity
to satisfy the most demanding viewer (whether
watching movies or playing videogames), as well as
the ability to deliver bright, contrast-rich images in
real world lighting conditions.
SIM2 has, in the SIRIO, created a 3D active single-chip
DLP®-based projector without the compromises
that are usually found in high brightness projectors,
where high light output comes at the cost of some
important features. SIRIO has a balanced delivery of
both high brightness and healthy contrast.
SIRIO is available with a choice of two different
SIM2 color wheel options, namely SIM2Color and
SIM2Shine. Each wheel has been designed to offer
optimal performance in specific applications:

34 35
The CRYSTAL line consists of two models: CRYSTAL 35
and CRYSTAL 45. Both share the same design aesthetics,
but differ in terms of light output and contrast ratio.
CRYSTAL 45 utilizes a reference version of the CRYSTAL
light engine with select optics plus enhanced processing
electronics to achieve this improved performance.
DLP® is the picture technology of choice for the
CRYSTAL 35/45; a Full HD1080p (1920 x 1080 pixel
resolution) chipset is used in its design, combining
this with DynamicBlack™ contrast-enhancing
technology. The CRYSTAL projectors are able to
deliver crisp, clear images without the motion-blur
associated with other picture technologies.SIM2 has
utilized advanced lamp technology in the design of
the CRYSTAL 35/45 to further optimize the image
performance of these DLP®-based projectors. The
electronics used in this system control the UHP lamp
by way of a two-pulse system: one bright pulse and
one dark pulse. The dark pulse enhances contrast,
while the bright pulse improves brightness. The
resulting image fills the screen with vibrant colors,
deep blacks and bright whites.
The CRYSTAL projectors are unlike any other projector
on the market; their compact size, distinctive cabinet
design and assured image performance mean that
they will very soon become the centerpiece of your
home entertainment system. The CRYSTAL 35/45
are compatible with all video standards (including
1080p@24fps) and offers a wide choice of both
analog and digital source inputs, including HDCP
compliant HDMI, making it eminently suitable for
use with today’s HD devices.
Flexibility of placement of these projectors is made
easier with a generous lens throw ratio of 1.62~2.43:1
and vertical lens shift adjustment, while the 280W
lamp has the power to light up a big screen even in
moderate ambient light.
Available in gloss black or gloss white with crystal-
glass accents.
